Patient's question:
I'm really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I'm experiencing frequent urination, pain during urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting as well. I've also started having problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I truly feel very helpless. Could you please ask: How should prostatitis be treated effectively and properly?Doctor's answer:
Based on your age and symptoms, you are currently suffering from prostatitis. Prostatitis is a prostate disease characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as its main clinical manifestations, caused by a variety of complex reasons. It is a common condition in urology, accounting for the second-highest incidence among male patients under 50 in urology. Although the incidence of prostatitis is high, its etiology remains unclear, especially in non-bacterial prostatitis. Therefore, its treatment is primarily based on stabilizing symptoms. First, clinical diagnostic tests should be conducted to confirm the type of the disease and determine the treatment method based on the cause. Misidentification of the disease, unnecessary anxiety, and excessive abstinence can alleviate symptoms, so patients' concerns should be addressed.
